Allow me to comment on issues being debated on, day in and day out.
The Ivermectin seems to be the hottest issue being debated about now. That’s what is happening on this medication allegedly good for animals. But it has also been said that while Ivermectin is good for animals, it has also been proven to cure people. It probably depends on the dosage.
It has been said na meron para sa tao. “THERE IS IVERMECTIN para sa tao.” Ano ba talaga ang pinag-dedebatehan? Stop arguing kung pang-tao o pang-animal.
Remember, I hate to say it, but di ba maraming masasamang tao na ang tawag sa kanila ay “animal”? Or hayop? Maraming masasamang tao ngayon. Di ba, pag ang isang tao ay gumawa ng masama ay tinatawag na “animal”? For that’s what they are. They somehow cease to be humans. So puwede na siguro sa kanila yong Ivermectin na pang hayop. Ang masamang tao ay hindi tao. The Ivermectin na pang animal ang bagay sa kanila.
I would like to ask one question: For all the arguments about Ivermectin, there are those who say “it’s for animals.” But, and this is a big But. Think again. How come the Nobel Peace Prize awarded the Ivermectin as one of the best and safest medicines? The Nobel Peace Prize only awards what is good for human beings. As far as I know, it is not an awarding body for animals. It only awards what is good para sa mga tao. It does not award anything that would be bad for the human race.
Let the Nobel Peace Prize speak for they have scientists who know, how and why this Ivermectin was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Frankly, I have not heard of any cow, dog, carabao, horses, etc.. being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway. That’s understandable enough.
Opinions worldwide from medical experts about the Ivermectin is very favorable; that is “safe and never killed anyone.” How true? Why not call the awarding body and the scientists involved in awarding the Ivermectin a Nobel Peace Prize Award?
It must be good for humans in order to get the award, even if the inventor meant it for animals as some are saying? What’s the human aspect there is in Ivermectin that merited the Nobel Peace Prize award to Ivermectin? What’s the human aspect in it?
My advice? Why not request from the members of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway what Ivermectin was awarded for. Is it for humans? Is it strictly for animals only? Or were the scientists in Norway able to link Ivermectin to human beings to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize Award?
I cannot see how the awarding body could have given such an honor for the good of the animals alone. For sure the award must have a human aspect to it for the medicine to merit the award. That’s what has been said that “Ivermectin won the award as one of the best and safest medicine ever discovered, harmless to humans and has not killed anyone.”
Just tell us how and why Ivermectin was awarded. On what grounds? Call the Norwegian Embassy in Manila to help. This is a government to government consultation. Answers can be given to those still groping in the dark.
It is rather disturbing to hear on TV, radio and print to hear and read nonsensical arguments with no definite answers from non-experts.
I give credit, however, to Congressman Mike Defensor for confronting the issue frontally. Talagang kailangan to do something about it and fast. He is right in many ways. Congressman Mike Defensor brought the issue up front for people are dying, left and right. It is in an utmost emergency.
Sinabi na ng Nobel Peace Prize Award scientists that the Ivermectin is totally safe that’s why it was given an award.
Instead of debating on TV the pros and cons of Ivermectin, go on government to government consultations – FAST! Request the Norwegian Embassy to provide the Philippine Government a copy of the decision of the medical scientists involved in giving the Ivermectin the most outstanding honor by the most prestigious awarding body in the world.
I see no end to the ongoing debate about Ivermectin until such time Norway helps us why Ivermectin was given the award as one of the safest medicines in the world; for human consumption; safe to take; and give the dosage for patients to take once infected; and also as preventive or prophylactic use.
Let’s do it now! Our country is running out of time. The “time-bomb,” as they say is ticking every second, every minute and every hour of the day and night.
Regarding my previous column entitled “Best news for the world to know,” some have texted asking why it was not announced by CNN. Evidently, some were doubting if indeed the U.S. Supreme Court made such a decision. I contacted my friend in Chicago who forwarded the info to me and told me: “It’s true. Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. won the case but the media has been trying to confuse people about it. This is really getting to be so evil…” There you are. It’s up to my readers to believe it or not.
